Today’s podcast guest, Bethany Webster, says this way of thinking stems from the ‘Mother Wound’ — the inherited pain of being a woman in a patriarchal culture. And in today’s episode, she’s guiding us through the process of healing this wound, ditching our dysfunctional coping mechanisms, and expanding our idea of what it means to be a mama.Known as a ‘midwife of the heart’, Bethany Webster is a writer, transformational coach and international speaker. Her work has filled a crucial gap in our understanding of women’s lives by blending cutting-edge research on intergenerational trauma, feminist theory, and psychology to comprehensively define the Mother Wound.Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/235 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.Bethany’s insights in this conversation blew me away. I was nodding along like crazy, as she described so perfectly what it’s like to be a woman in this world and how many damaging beliefs we can absorb without even realising. Whether you are a mama, want to be a mama, have a mama, or just want to understand yourself and the women in your life better, you’ll find veins of gold throughout this podcast, and I can’t wait for you to listen.So if you want to heal your ancestral wounds, actualize your full potential, and redefine your own relationship with motherhood, this conversation is for you.In this episode we chat about: Her story from being the ‘mother figure’ as a child, to falling pregnant at 19, to healing her Mother Wound and her spiritual awakening to where she is today (05:46)What is the Mother Wound? (21:04)The truth about why people get defensive (26:18)Why we need to stay open in all our relationships and the power of CCC (29:20)7 steps to heal your Mother Wound (and how this process can transform your own life, as well as your relationship with your mother) (35:16)What if you already have children — is it too late to heal your Mother Wound?

This episode is brought to you by BLUblox. Head to www.BLUblox.com now and enter the code MELISSA for 15% off your order.A recent study found that the average person spends more than 10 hours a day in front of a screen. (Ten!) This number is worrying in itself, but when you consider that most screens emit a harmful type of blue light that can mess with your sleep, strain your eyes and disrupt your hormones, it’s worth taking a closer look at the negative effects of our digital life. Enter today’s podcast guest, Andy Mant...Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/233 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of BLUblox, a company specialising in evidence-based advanced light-filtering eyewear.

By changing his exposure to light, he was able to transform his body and energy levels. And today, Andy is a leading figure in managing light to improve health and wellbeing.My husband and I have been passionate about blue-blocking eyewear for years, and we’re thrilled that this issue is becoming more mainstream. But there’s a lot of conflicting information out there (and — unfortunately — some dodgy products).
